Chapter 123 'The Fool' is really here! (2/2)

When they arrived, Zhao Weiguo was sweeping snow in the yard.

Duan Zhou introduced the new educated youth to Zhao Weiguo, and they chatted enthusiastically.

Yu Hao had no interest in listening to their nonsense; he was preoccupied with one thing.

He interrupted Zhao Weiguo's pleasantries and got straight to the point: "Buddy, I'm looking for Yan Yu, he's my older brother!"

Zhao Weiguo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled憨厚ly: "Yes, I know him, he's Yan Zhiqing."

Yu Hao immediately puffed out his chest, his face radiating undisguised pride and smugness, his bright white teeth dazzling in the snow.

"I came here specifically to seek refuge with him!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Weiguo's smile became even more genuine, and he slapped his thigh: "Oh my! So he's Yan Zhiqing's younger brother! I knew it!"

He patted Yu Hao on the shoulder warmly, "However, your brother doesn't live here."

Yu Hao's smile froze.

You don't live here?

Why not stay at the educated youth settlement, or live with these fellow villagers?

He knew his eldest son was a bit withdrawn, but surely not this unsociable?

He asked, dumbfounded, "Then where does my brother live?"

Zhao Weiguo looked at him with an expression that said, "How come you, as the younger brother, know nothing?" and answered matter-of-factly:

"Since Yan Zhiqing is married, of course she lives in her own home!"

Knot……

marriage……

What?!

Yu Hao felt a "buzz" explode in his ears, and he couldn't hear a single word Zhao Weiguo said after that.

He stood frozen in place, only his eyes moving, his mouth opening and closing unconsciously, then opening again.

His boss, who was averse to women, frowned at the sight of them, saw them as a source of trouble, and exuded an aura of "keep away"...

get married?

This is even more outrageous than hearing that pigs can climb trees!

…………………………

It was already getting dark.

Yan Yu carried large and small bags in one hand and held Ruan Tang tightly with the other, protecting her by his side and shielding her from the howling north wind.

From a distance, Yan Yu could see several dark figures squatting at the entrance of his courtyard.

He paused, then subtly pulled Ruan Tang closer to his back, his aura instantly turning cold.

Ruan Tang peeked her head out from behind him and saw it too.

Zhao Weiguo, Duan Zhou, and two other unfamiliar faces squatted on the steps in front of their house, looking like a row of wilted quails.

"elder brother!"

Yu Hao, with his sharp eyes, was the first to spot Yan Yu, and jumped up from the ground in excitement.

But the next second, when he saw the little girl next to Yan Yu who was being protected so well that only her bright almond-shaped eyes were visible, the words he was about to say caught in his throat.

He froze on the spot.

His mouth slowly, uncontrollably, opened wide.

Grow bigger.

This...this...

Isn't this the fairy-like girl who made his brother take a second look at her for the first time ever at the Beijing Hotel?!

Yu Hao's mind raced, his gaze darting back and forth between his brother's cold, stern face and the pair of large, watery almond-shaped eyes beside him.

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

He understood.

He understood everything!

The idea of ​​going to the countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants is utter nonsense!

His brother has traveled a thousand miles to chase after his wife!

Tsk tsk tsk, I knew it! With his brother's greedy nature—he'd pluck a feather from a passing goose and never let go of meat that's right in front of him—how could he possibly just watch a cooked duck fly away!

Just as Yu Hao was lost in thought, his mind churning, Yan Yu's gaze had already passed over him and landed on Yu Siyuan behind him.

Yan Yu's face instantly darkened.

He didn't know about others, but Yu Siyuan's grandfather, who started his business in medicinal herbs, had long since gone to the port city. Even if his son and daughter-in-law had an accident, he would never let his only precious grandson suffer in the countryside.

The only explanation is that he'd been completely fooled by this simpleton who called him "brother"! (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
